The unity of Har Sinai, represented by ויחן שם

represents the importance of those ,ישראל

individuals joining together as a community.

The desire and the need to balance these

ideals is a constant challenge. How do we

follow our individual dreams, while remaining

connected to, and responsible for, the

community around us? What happens when

our communal obliga�ons don't seem to

mesh with our individual needs? I encourage

you to reflect on some of these ques�ons at

your Shabbat tables this weekend.

Thank you to our Fi3h grade team for an

amazing trip to Greenkill this week. Thank

you to our First grade team for the crea�ve

intergenera�onal math fair. Thank you to our

en�re faculty for bringing the spirit of

Yerushalayim to our school in such

meaningful ways this week.

Shabbat Shalom and Chag Shavuot Sameach,

Rabbi Binyamin Krauss

son.

To Malkey Rosensa3 on her

recent Bat Mitzvah.

To Avi Roth on his recent Bar

Mitzvah.

First Grade Math Fair


2 of 23 5/10/2013 1:17 PM

The annual first grade Math Fair was held on Tuesday, May 7. The fes�vi�es started

in the lunchroom with the children performing two of their favorite math songs,

the Doubles Song and Ten and Something More. The children wore adorable �es

and bows that were decorated with number facts and sentences expressing their

love for math. Then, the children with their parents par�cipated in three different

workshops which took place in the first and fi3h grade areas. The areas were

decorated to reflect the excitement for numbers. The beau�ful number bond

bu;erflies, fact family houses and huge numerals hanging from the ceiling were all

created by the first graders. The workshops included various games and math

topics that were taught within the classroom. The children (and parents) were

challenged to employ math thinking skills to par�cipate in the mostly child-

generated games at the various sta�ons. Parents had an opportunity to purchase

some fun math games to con�nue the learning at home. The first grade team

would like to thank Morah Marci Kirshner for her dedica�on and incredible

organiza�on of the Math Fair. A special thank you to Ann Goldhirsch and Barry

Love, Erica and Ephraim Edelman and Jill and Ami Goldfein for sponsoring this

wonderful event. Click here to see more pictures.

Yom Yerushalayim @ SAR

The day began with a fes�ve Hallel on the steps followed by

special grade-wide programming. Here is a glimpse of how

the SAR Academy marked Yom Yerushalayim…

Morah Gaby Shares her Memories with Kitah Gimel

On Yom Yerushalayim, Morah Gaby visited Kitah Gimel to share her her personal

memories of the Six Day War. Morah Gaby began by reminding the class that when

they were in Kitah Alef, they asked "Morah Gaby, were you in Egypt when we were

slaves?" and she explained to them that no, she was not. Then they asked, "Morah

Gaby, were you in Israel in 1948?" and she explained that no, she was not. But,

when they asked "Morah Gaby, were you in Israel when we got the Kotel back?",

she proudly explained that yes, she was in Israel for that incredible miracle.

Morah Gaby told the class that since so many Israeli men were serving in the army

during that �me that teenagers had to help with important jobs. Morah Gaby

helped deliver the mail! She explained that at first it seemed impossible that Israel

would ever be a;acked. In school, they even sang songs about how our enemies

would stay far away from Israel. But, then Israel was a;acked by three very large

countries all at once. Morah Gaby remembers going to school on the first day of

the war and everyone was talking about the ba;le. In Israel, everyone knows

someone who is serving in the army. By the �me the first day of the war was over,

Morah Gaby said that she realized she was living through a miracle. The Israelis had

destroyed the en�re Egyp�an Air Force. Morah Gaby explained that it did not

ma;er if you were very religious and davened every day or if you were not

religious and never davened, she said that throughout the war every single Israeli

was discussing the great miracles that Hashem was doing for Am Yisrael. With tears

in her eyes, Morah Gaby told the the third graders that she s�ll gets goosebumps

when she hears a recording of the announcement that came over the radio when

the Israeli Paratroopers reached the Kotel: "Har HaBayit BeYadeinu!"

Morah Gaby, Thanks for taking the �me to come to Kitah Gimel, We all got


4 of 23 5/10/2013 1:17 PM

goosebumps listening to your story!

Thoughts on Yerushalayim

First graders created a s�cky board in honor of Yom Yerushalayim. The students

posted pictures, thoughts, facts and personal stories related to Yerushalayim and

shared their posts with the class in school. Click here and here to see the

webpages.

Sixth Grade's Virtual Tour of Jerusalem

To celebrate Yom Yerushalayim, the students in the sixth grade researched

important places and landmarks in Jerusalem and created 'tourism flyers.' Any

passers-by could learn about the landmarks by picking up a flyer inside the folder

and addi�onally, use their digital devices to scan the embedded QR codes and

watch a short commercial produced by the students. Come visit our Jerusalem

Tourism Center near the sixth grade to learn all about these interes�ng places!

Second Grade Recreates Yerushalayim

The second grade displayed their ar�s�c

ability and crea�vity this week! In honor of

Yom Yerushalayim, the children painted a

mural, and recreated buildings and other

landmarks in Yerushalayim. Please come by

and see the Knesset Menorah, Migdal David

and the Kotel!

Junior High Lunch & Learn

On Yom Yerushalayim, the junior high par�cipated in a Lunch & Learn program.

Students learned in small groups and discussed the pasuk "V'liyerushalaim ir'cha".

Later in the a3ernoon, grades 1-5 par�cipated in a Yom Yerushalayim sing-a-long

with Chazan Shim Craimer. Everyone truly felt the importance and uniqueness of

this special day.

The 5th Grade Goes Camping!


6 of 23 5/10/2013 1:17 PM

With wonderful weather and fantas�c facili�es, the 5th grade had an amazing �me

at Greenkill Nature Center. The students par�cipated in team building exercises, a

campfire, a night awareness hike, and climbing. Everyone had a great �me and

enjoyed the many outdoor ac�vi�es.

A Day at the Museum

As part of their study of Na�ve Americans, the 3rd grade traveled to the Museum


7 of 23 5/10/2013 1:17 PM

of Natural History. In the Eastern Woodland and Plains Indian rooms, the children

went on a scavenger hunt to find and then sketch various ar�facts.

As they marveled at the realis�c exhibits of Indian life, they couldn’t help but think

about their own dioramas that they had created back at SAR. The Natural History

dioramas were full of rich details and showed an in-depth understanding of Indian

culture. Likewise the children’s dioramas were a true tour de force. Below are two

SAR dioramas. Pre;y professional, wouldn’t you say?

The 6th Grade Visits YU & Drisha


8 of 23 5/10/2013 1:17 PM

In prepara�on for Shavuot, the 6th grade boys traveled to Yeshiva University to

learn Torah with Yeshiva students in the Beit Midrash of Rabbi Baruch Simon, one

of the Roshei Yeshiva of Yeshiva University. In addi�on, the boys had a unique

opportunity to meet and hear from President Richard Joel and Rabbi Yona Reiss,

the dean of RIETS. Rabbi Reiss then took the boys on a walk through the main

Yeshiva Beit Midrash. The boys were treated for a pizza lunch as a fun treat.

*****************************************************

6th grade girls had the special opportunity of visi�ng The Drisha Ins�tute for some

pre-Shavuot learning. The students saw the Beit Midrash, which looks out onto the

streets of Manha;an, learned in groups and heard shiurim from two educators,

Wendy Amsellem and Jon Kelsen. A3erwards, they enjoyed a delicious pizza lunch

and heard some words of Torah from Rabbi Silber, Founder and Dean of Drisha and

father of our very own 6th grader Shelomzion! Abby Fisher, whose group learned

three midrashim about Matan Torah, felt that the program led her in the direc�on

of Shavuot. Ayelet Bar-David remarked, "I felt like I was in a community where

people learn...and it was fun!" Jamie Feder thought that it was a bit of a new way

to experience learning. Talia Kronisch and Avital Schwartz agreed that it was cool to


9 of 23 5/10/2013 1:17 PM

have a different learning experience in a new Beit Midrash and with different

teachers. "We had a longer chavruta session than we do in school so the learning

felt different. It was an experience that we felt we can't just get anywhere and it

was special to see it can happen in some places." The students were able to see

that learning can be strong and vibrant and con�nuous throughout one's life. What

a great message for ourselves and our students as we ready ourselves to reaffirm

our commitment to Kabbalat Ha-Torah on this Chag Ha-shavuot!

Monkeying Around With the Second Grade

Last week the Second Grade took a trip to the Bronx Aoo as part of their

Endangered Animal unit of study. They visited the Congo Gorilla exhibit and

studied the diet, habitat and reasons why gorillas and animals of the rainforest are

endangered. It was a beau�ful day and everyone enjoyed ea�ng lunch outside as

well as the extra �me they had to visit the monkeys in Madagascar and the seals!

4’s at the Library

The N4 weekly visit to the library affords the

children an opportunity for language and cogni�ve

development in a friendly open environment. Under

Morah Beth Braunstein’s professional guidance,

students are encouraged to make their own book

selec�ons. They may choose from fic�on and

nonfic�on age appropriate choices which support

their interests and learning styles. Story �me is an

essen�al part of their experience in library. Reading aloud to children is the most

important interven�on for developing their literary skills and awareness. This

experience increases vocabulary, reinforces familiar words and helps them

understand the reading process.

Exposure to quality illustra�ons in picture books enables the children to make

inferences about the story through the pictures and develop an apprecia�on of

ar�s�c styles. Throughout the year N4 classes have been exposed to a variety of

authors and illustrators such as Mo Willems, Eileen Christelow, Marcus Pfister, Leo


11 of 23 5/10/2013 1:17 PM

Lionni and Nancy Carlson. The reading of the” Rainbow Fish” series was combined

with a study of what lives in the ocean. Parental support in returning your child’s

book each week is appreciated so students can enjoy the excitement of selec�ng a

new one!

Mother's Day Treats

Mrs. Stavsky’s 8th grade cooking elec�ve prepared mother’s day gi3 bags for senior

ci�zens to be distributed by Ni� Minkove and the Bronx Jewish Community

Council.

Brown Bag Seminars

This week Howard Jonas, founder and chairman of IDT Corpora�on led a Brown

Bag Seminar for our second to fourth graders.

The Brown Bag Seminar en�tled, "ON A ROLL: OR HOW A KID FROM THE BRONX

STARTED WITH HOT DOGS AND WOUND UP MAKING A FORTUNE," drew a large

crowd of second, third, and fourth graders.

How did a kid from the Bronx start with hot dogs and wind up making a fortune?

How does business work and how do you turn a good idea into a profitable


12 of 23 5/10/2013 1:17 PM

endeavor? Howard Jonas revolu�onized telecommunica�ons technology with a

smart idea and pioneered an en�rely new industry. It all began with a hot dog

stand. The children listened with interest and excitement about the challenges and

strategies in having a successful hot dog stand and about Howard's subsequent

inven�ons that changed the world of technology. Maybe one day, some of our

students who a;ended the Brown Bag Seminar will be the next business

entrepreneurs and pioneers!

Kol Hakavod!

Congratula�ons to 7th grader Hadas Spivack on being named the WINNER of The

Siegelbaum Literary and Visual Arts Compe��on. Dassi entered the compe��on

with her original poem and won first place!

Breaking Through

Father always told me never to be an Upstander.

He told me, “Never say anything, or do anything.

Because you never can tell what might happen. You never know if you

Can get hurt, or get involved in something you might not want to be a part of.”

He made me promise, swear, cross my heart and hope to die, that if I was

Ever in a situa&on that I had the choice to be a Bystander or an Upstander,

I’d choose the first.

Mother always told me not to be a Bystander.

She told me, “Say something, do something, anything,

Because it will hurt more if you don’t. All bullies are cowards.” Whenever she

Said this she got this look in her eyes. Like she had an opportunity before

To be an Upstander but she chose to be a Bystander.

I looked right back at her, staring her in the face, and promised.

The evening of November 9th

was the night that changed my life forever.

The night was s&ll and calm and there wasn’t a sound to be heard.

I went for a walk and ended up on Straβe Nietzche at 10:55.

The evening of November 9th

was the night that changed my life forever.

The night was still and calm and there wasn’t a sound to be heard.

I went for a walk and ended up on Straβe Nietzche at 10:55.

We had recently go2en a new Chancellor, he’s passing new laws constantly picking on Jews.

They can’t own stores, sit on park benches, and have to wear these sad looking yellow stars.

I do what my father told me; nothing. I don’t go to mee&ngs against him, or pass out fliers,

I don’t make speeches, or write to the paper.

We had recently gotten a new Chancellor, he’s passing new laws constantly

picking on Jews. They can’t own stores, sit on park benches, and have to

wear these sad looking yellow stars. I go to meetings against him, passing out

fliers, making speeches, and writing to the paper. Unlike what my neighbor does.


13 of 23 5/10/2013 1:17 PM

The night was s&ll and calm and there wasn’t a sound to be heard un&l I heard the

Noise of breaking glass at Old Kleinman’s store.

I saw a crowd surrounding the store,

I took a look around and slipped quietly into the crowd.

The night was still and calm, and I hadn’t heard a sound, but I saw a crowd

of people surrounding Old Kleinman’s store. I rushed over and looked

Around at the faces of the bystanders, wondering if I would see anyone I knew.

By chance I saw my neighbor, standing there, not doing anything like usual.

I looked towards the store and saw Kleinman being forced out of his store by a

Nazi soldier. I started to take a step forward but then froze.

I saw Kleinman being forced out of the store and expected someone to step up and

help him, but no one did.

I took a deep breath and my feet led me forward.

I could hear my father telling me never to be an Upstander, but I realized that’s exactly

what I was becoming.

“Stop”, I ordered the soldiers. “Leave him alone, he’s done nothing wrong.”

“Stay out of this sir, you don’t want to be involved.” They told me.

“That’s what my father said”

I saw my neighbor step up and order the soldiers to stop.

The soldiers disregarded

him and told him to back off, but he didn’t; he stood up tall and proud and

bossed them around so much that the soldiers let Kleinman go.

The whole crowd gasped and watched as ha and Kleinman

slowly walked away. I remembered my mother’s words,

“All bullies are cowards.”

Father. What would he say of me now? Now that I had broken the only promise

he had ever wanted me to keep?

Shame flooded through me.

But I suddenly, I knew the truth, father was wrong.

Had I not said anything t o help that man, I would have hated myself…

As I started walking home, the guilt followed.

It cut like a knife’s blade against my chest.

I couldn’t believe that I had frozen, stood there and done nothing.

My neighbor, who was known for doing nothing, had done something!

Something I promised my mother I would do.

What would she think of me now?

She was right though, doing nothing hurts more than anything

in the whole world. Now I know for next time66Do something.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

This week we celebrated Yom Yerushalyim; a whole day dedicated to

Jerusalem. Why do you think Jerusalem is the only city in Eretz Yisrael

that has its own holiday?


14 of 23 5/10/2013 1:17 PM

THAT "KIND OF WEEK"

7th grader Gavriel Margolies Sco; recently celebrated his bar mitzvah in Kansas

City, Kansas so that his grandmother, who lives in a long term care facility there,

could a;end. Click here to read the ar�cle which ran in the Kansas City Jewish

Chronicle. When asked why he chose to have his bar mitzvah in Kansas instead of

in New York, Gavriel said “I love my family, I knew my grandma wouldn’t be able to

come to New York, and I wanted to celebrate with my family. That’s why I’m here.”

“On Pesach, Shavuot, and Succot we do “Aliya Laregel”. It means to walk

up to the Beit Hamikdash which is in Jerusalem. That mitzvah can’t be

done in any other city in the world, so it deserves its own holiday.”

- Jonathan Thomas 3Z

DVAR TORAH

Parshat Bamidbar by Rebecca Hyman and Tamara

Peterman

In this week’s parsha, Parshat Bamidbar, we read about

the Jew’s travels through the desert.

In the first Pasukim of the parsha, Hashem commands

Moshe to count the Jewish people.

Q: Why is it necessary for Moshe to count Bnei Yisrael at this �me?

A: The Malbim provides an answer to this ques�on. When Bnei Yisrael enter the

promised land, the land will be divided among the different tribes. It is important

to know the number of people, in order to determine the amount of land each

tribe must be given. If each tribe is given the exact amount of land that they need,

no tribe can be jealous of the amount of land another tribe has been given.


16 of 23 5/10/2013 1:17 PM

From this we learn that Hashem does not only think about His own needs, he also

thinks about comfort of the people of Bnei Yisrael. Hashem wants his crea�ons to

all be happy. We can relate Hashem's ac�ons in our own life. We should use

Hashem's strategy of being sensi�ve to everyone’s needs and trying to make

everyone happy making everyone feel equal and included with our friends family

and Jewish community.

Shabbat Shalom.

“It's one of the only cities in the Torah, and it's where we gave

korbanot on holidays so if any city should get a holiday itself, it's

fitting for Jerusalem to be it.”

THIS WEEK IN SPORTS

What a week it was for the 6th grade S�ng; 2 Playoff games, 2

victories! First it was a home game in the quarterfinals against

RPRY. The game was controlled early by the S�ng following a great

first quarter surge to a 12-2 lead. However, RPRY fought back and

kept it close throughout most of the game. However, geVng

contribu�ons from every member of the team, SAR was moving onto the Semi

Finals against YNJ, following an impressive 20 point victory.

Against YNJ, SAR got out to a lead in the first quarter leading by as much as 5.

However, YNJ was determined to play well on their home court and came storming

back to take an 6 point lead into the half. A3er regrouping at hal3ime, the S�ng

put on quite a run in the second half, led by great defense and shoo�ng from the

guards, and excellent rebounding from the forwards. As the fourth quarter

progressed, instead of geVng ra;led by the crowd around them, the S�ng showed

a lot of poise by holding onto the lead, hiVng their foul shots, and earning a hard

fought spot in the championship game a3er this thrilling 12 point victory!

Next up; Moriah! Details TBA... GO STING!!

“Even though we lost the Beit Hamikdash, we still have the Kotel in

Yerushalayim to remind us to do Mitzvot, so we can get another Beit

Hamikdash. That makes the city Kadosh and very important to us!”
